The NFL Super Bowl XLIX festivities will have a fair-like atmosphere by bringing Coachella‘s Neon Carnival party to Phoenix. This will be the first time the Neon Carnival will be hosted anywhere besides Coachella. Brent Bolthouse, the Neon Carnival creator, said he is thrilled to take the party to the Super Bowl. It seems like the Super Bowl’s entertainment committee is “pulling out all the stops” to make it a very memorable and exciting event this year.
